Blue Origin, the space company founded by Jeff Bezos, has rescheduled the inaugural launch of its 322-foot-tall New Glenn rocket following technical issues and inclement weather. The launch, initially planned for Monday from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, was postponed due to ice buildup in critical plumbing systems. Propellant loading is now underway, and the launch is set for Thursday, January 16, with a three-hour launch window opening at 1 a.m. Eastern Time.
